Chapter 87 Wine Cellar on Current Affairs
When Wei Zhongxian took Liu Bowen and Niu Gao to Cuijia Distillery, Guo Zongxun had completely occupied this place.
Guo Zongxun only left Liu Bowen and Wei Zhongxian, and retired everyone.
"Strategist, Wei Companion, this prince has some drawings here, please ask the strategist to find a craftsman to make them as soon as possible, there are iron, wood, and bamboo."
These drawings were secretly drawn by Guo Zongxun in Tongfu Palace for a while, as a traverser, knowledge is power, patents are money, and he still keeps this in mind.
Prepare early, and once you have the opportunity, you can take it out and realize it one by one.
It is impossible to get a full set of stainless steel distillation equipment now, which is also the best plan that Guo Zongxun can make based on his understanding of this era.
The wine-making process is based on Cui's family heirloom, which is also regarded as his technology as a shareholder, and the core wine purification technology, Guo Zongxun must be kept strictly confidential.
Liu Bowen briefly looked at the drawings, although he couldn't understand it, but he knew that the lord must be of great use.
"Poor Road strictly abides by the Lord's law, Poor Road will find different shops to do it in sections, and each section will also find three shops to entrust manufacturing, and finally the Lord will choose the best."
Look, this is the execution and subjective initiative of Liu Bowen, who not only thought of how to keep it secret, but also thought of choosing the best.
"Now the time is urgent, you can only choose from the folk workshop, since the military advisor said to make three sets, after picking out one set here, the other two sets should not be damaged, and they are all transported to Sanqingguan, I believe that there are tigers and wild wolves watching, and no one dares to make up their minds."
"Niu Gao, the military advisor will take a good place, this prince plans to let him be responsible for collecting and exploring all kinds of news in Kaifeng City, and in the future, as the news liaison between us, the palace will be in charge of Wei Banban."
"Poor Dao also has this meaning, Niu Gao is not bad in nature, but he has been wandering the streets all the year round and has developed some ruffians, and Poor Dao will be good at inducing."
"The minion thinks that this little cow cow is also a good one, if he can unify all the gangsters in Kaifeng City, it will also become a big force."
Guo Zongxun glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and sure enough, he was a person who understood the mind of this prince, and this prince wanted to have enough power among the people, and what was not good for officials in the future would be solved by the methods of the rivers and lakes.
"Now there is another question, who will be in charge of the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles?"
When Guo Zongxun asked this, Liu Bowen and Wei Zhongxian were stunned, and immediately understood Guo Zongxun's thoughts.
"Tian Daxi has a flexible mind, and it may be okay to manage one or two shops, but this Hundred Battles Heroes Hall, this prince will not only use it to sell wine, this is a clear chess move that this prince has placed in Kaifeng City and even the entire Great Zhou, and all the personnel will be composed of retired veterans of a hundred battles in the army."
Allocate fields to those retired veterans of the hundred battles and let them go home to farm, no, Guo Zongxun feels that it is still overkill, and he must keep them in the city as much as possible.
This is also the prototype of a state-owned factory that Guo Zongxun is thinking in his heart, which can now be called a royal workshop.
Wine workshop, cloth workshop, iron workshop, salt workshop...... And so on, the leaders of all walks of life must be in the hands of the state, first of all, in the hands of the emperor.
The big family or something, at most, let them follow behind and drink soup.
Of course, there is a long way to go, and we must take it step by step, and the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles is a pilot, and at the same time, it also gives the veterans of the Hundred Battles who have fought bloodily for the country an iron rice bowl.
Although Liu Bowen and Wei Zhongxian couldn't guess all of Guo Zongxun's thoughts, they also realized that this was a big move by the lord.
"Master, the slave has no idea, almost all of the master's layout now revolves around the army, why is this?"
Guo Zongxun said in his heart, can this prince tell you that the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, and the military power is in hand, so you can control the country.
"People who have been trained in the army know better what military orders are, and they are better used than others, but this prince values their descendants more."
It is estimated that they don't understand what Liu Bowen and Wei Zhongxian said about the macroeconomic regulation and control of the city's population structure, and this is not something that can be seen immediately, it needs to be done step by step.
Alas...... There are many things that can't be done without letting go of your hands and feet, and it's really grinding.
"The lord's move has a deep meaning, and when it comes to the person in charge of the Hundred Battles Heroes Hall, Poor Dao thinks that the lord must be personally responsible for it at this stage."
"The minions also feel that these retired veterans are still in charge of the master himself, and the minions can be a liaison in the middle."
Guo Zongxun nodded, and that was the only way.
"Strategist, the equipment on the drawings should be made as soon as possible, in short, the sooner the better, the first batch of retired soldiers of the Hugzi Army will be selected from the hundred people who participated in the winter hunting and night attack, led by Tian Daxi."
Subsequently, Guo Zongxun called Tian Daxi in again:
"Daxi, among the hundred people who participated in the winter hunting night attack last time, fifty were selected to retire from the army and join the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles, and you also retired, and this place will be temporarily handed over to you to manage."
Tian Daxi was stunned, and then a sad expression appeared on his face:
"Fourth Highness, but did the lowly rank do something wrong, the Fourth Highness wants to drive us out of the barracks."
Guo Zongxun shook his head, this Tian Daxi is indeed worse than Wang Liang in terms of execution, and even inferior to Zhang Tieniu.
"This prince asked you to stay here and run the winery, don't have any ideas, you are all people who have fought bloody battles for my Great Zhou on the battlefield, it's time for you to enjoy the meritorious dividends you deserve."
Although Tian Daxi didn't understand why His Royal Highness wanted to drive them out of the barracks, he also knew that at this time, there was only one sentence that he could say:
"Commanded by humility."
Guo Zongxun glanced at Wei Zhongxian, originally it was most appropriate for this instructor to do ideological work to let Liu Bowen, who was a fake bull nose, do it, but now Liu Bowen has not really come to the foreground, so let Wei Zhongxian, who is more familiar with these big soldiers, come.
"Daxi, crying and mourning, come, let's talk to you......"
Wei Zhongxian took Tian Daxi to do ideological work, and Guo Zongxun took Liu Bowen to the cellar of the winery.
"There is a lot of wine stored here, and the Cui family should still have a place to store grain to make wine, and take it together, the shopkeeper Cui is right, the two of them will be doing business for the royal family in the future."
Liu Bowen said:
"Hiding soldiers in the people is the great benefit of the country, however, hiding soldiers in the field is not as good as hiding soldiers in the city.
Guo Zongxun sighed and said:
"It's a pity that there is not enough time for this prince, otherwise, this prince plans to replace at least 10,000 people from the front division of the palace and the guard division, and grasp all the commerce in this Kaifeng City."
"Why does the lord attach so much importance to business?"
"The army can defend national security, business can control the lifeblood of the country, this prince intends to try the integration of military and business, on the one hand, to give the meritorious soldiers a new identity and livelihood, on the other hand, this is also the prince's weapon to deal with those big families in the future."
"So, how does the lord view the balance between civil, military, agriculture, and commerce?"
"In this troubled times, with the current situation of my Great Zhou, the four provinces are not subordinate, the east and the west, the north and the south are fighting, this prince believes that the military is the first, the agriculture is the second, and the business is the third, as for the civil official system, in the eyes of the prince, they are now just high-level workers, a group of people who have only read the four books and five classics to read and break the word, too narrow, and when they can say the four words of science and technology to the prince, it is not too late to improve their status."
Liu Bowen smiled:
"What the lord said today, is it my general outline of governing the country in the Great Zhou?"
Guo Zongxun also smiled:
"I can't talk about the general outline of governing the country, let's just call it a wine cellar to discuss current affairs, and I hope that the military division can help me."
Liu Bowen said:
"Poor Dao is willing to follow the lord's left and right and seek common causes."
